AdminHistoryThe decision to create a memorial to Julius Althaus following his death in 1900 was taken while the Hospital for Epilepsy and Paralysis, Regent's Park, was in the course of moving to to its new location at numbers 3 and 4 Maida Vale. The medallion, in wood, was executed by Mr Heydemer and later put up in the boardroom of the new hospital. See frontispiece to Anthony Feiling, 'A History of the Maida Vale Hospital for Nervous Diseases' (London, 1958).
